< Back to Montmartre Studio — Pilleux - Sacre Coeur
Here is what some of our clients have to say about Haven in Paris & their stay in:
Pilleux - Sacre Coeur
I truly thank you for such a wonderful place to rest after walking Paris - I left as if I actually lived in Paris every time I punched in the black gate code - I also appreciated the sunshine you arranged this past week! What a treat! The Pilleux was very well stocked - I was quite surprised & pleased with all the amenieties! Au revoir & merci beaucoup! |

A note of thanks for a wonderful stay at Pilleux. We enjoyed the super clean, comfortable, well stocked apartment. The property even exceeded my expectations with respect to how well stocked it was with linens, dishes etc. and my expectations for cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless. It has every necessary amenity one would need for daily life. The view is wonderful, the building very quiet, the only thing is the four flights up, but, then again, it helped with the wonderful food we ate. We went to La Maison and I went to La Mascott which were recommend on the Haven website. La Maison was fantastic. Loredana is a great asset as the greeter, contact person in case of questions etc. She was there immediately when we called with questions. She led me through all necessary instructions to operate the appliances, computer, TV etc. Her outgoing personality and competence makes her perfect for the job. I so enjoyed meeting her! I have one suggestions with respect to towel bars; I looked around for a place that one might install a bar to hang wet bath towels. Another suggestion is to put knobs on the cupboards to make them easier to open. I know this kind of ruins the overall look, but it would help. NOTE FROM HIP - We will look into your suggestions! Why HiP? I was led to your site via VRBO. I chose the property for price, amenities, location. |

Ben and I made it back to the states last night and we are already missing Paris! We will miss this sweet little apartment. We loved the sunshine in the mornings and the lit-up Sacre-Cœur at nights. We wanted to say thank you for care you put into making our stay a pleasant one. All the care you put into the reservation process and the apartment itself is evident. We will definitely recommend your company to friends and family. Pilleux was a very comfortable place with everything we needed. Thanks a lot!!! |

We were both very pleased with the apartment. We would definitely stay at Pilleux again. What a wonderful place! Perfect neighborhood. Gorgeous view. I appreciated the fact that you offer a relatively inexpensive apartment choice that, though small, still adheres to the high standard we have experienced from HiP in the past. We booked this trip as a quick getaway where we did not want to spend a lot of money and for that Pilleux was perfect. We had a wonderful time. |

Process to rent property exceptional nothing too much trouble. Apartment beautiful to come home to every day and enhanced our stay in Paris. Mary our greeter was lovely and very helpful. My friend and I (we are late 40's early 50's) did manage the stairs - they are beautiful. Both beds very comfortable and all facilities wonderful. Views amazing and felt like living amongst locals. Why HiP? Read a recommendation on a blog then went to Haven in paris site and this apartment gave us a bit of space and ability to self cater within the budget we could afford. Would rather stay somewhere beautiful a little bit out than something horrible close in. thank you |

We had an amazing experience - everything from the ease of booking to the friendly and accessible greeter to the simply beautiful apartment. We fell in the love with MonteMarte and really enjoyed having a true Parisian experience. The neighborhood bakeries and shops were all wonderful and not all touristy. And the apartment was easy to access from the Metro. This apartment was advertised as "budget" friendly, but it was bigger and cleaner than the more expensive hotels we stayed at for other nights of our trip. We are already planning our return! Only thing we'd appreciate is an alarm clock (which we needed only for the last day to leave for the airport!). Why HiP? We didn't like the hotel choices we were finding when we looked at Paris. For the money, the options and reviews were discouraging. I saw HiP mentioned on Cup of Jo and it seemed to fit the bill perfectly. All of our expectations were far exceeded - we enjoyed breakfast in the apartment in the morning with coffee and pastries from a local boulangerie, and then cooked at home several of the evenings as well. The kitchen was wonderful, as was access to a washer a dryer! Thanks for making our stay so comfortable and perfect. |

We loved our vacation to Paris and your apartment was such a nice place to stay in. We were constantly surprised over how quiet it would be even with the windows open. The building has so much character and the neighbourhood is fantastic. The 18th and the 19th were new experiences for us. Thank you again for having us. |

I absolutely loved the Pilleux property -- it is rare for places to live up to pictures and this one did and more. Clean, efficient space as well as cozy with a fantastic shower and views! Other points to highlight -- it was a real treat for me and my family that I was able to call home so easily and clearly. I was obsessed with the shower -- it was better than mine at home. I love the lighting in the kitchen. Having a hair dryer was above and beyond! Thank you so much for all your hard work with your properties. It is obvious that you all take great care in choosing, maintaining and improving the places you manage. It is also clear that your company shares a love of Paris and does a fabulous job making travelers feel welcome and encouraged to explore. I can't wait for my next trip and will certainly be recommending this company to everyone I know. It was too good to be true. |

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Pilleux - Sacre Coeur property. The flat was cozy and contained everything necessary to have a live-in Paris experience. The location of the flat, just on the outskirts of the city, offered the opportunity for us to feel residential and integrated with the Parisians. The property has a villa feel that satisfies the romantic notion of Paris. The permanent residents of the building were very kind and greeted us warmly each time we passed each other. Metro stops, bakeries, cafes, and markets are all within easy walking distance. The Haven staff were very helpful and easy to deal with; they assisted us in numerous ways and were always pleased to offer help or information. Overall, the Haven played a large role in making our Paris trip a highly enjoyable and stress-free vacation. Why HiP? We chose this property based on impressive website layout / photos and the ease of communication with the staff. |

The apartment was small and compact but met our needs exactly. It was a block away from the subway with a 10 minute ride to the sites on the Seine. Down the street were superb vegetable/fruit/cheese/meat stores with very friendly vendors. There was a small grocery a few doors down for basics. We used a driver as recommended on the site to pick us up at the airport. He was very soliticious pointing out all the sites and things to do and in particular the local wine store. Our greeter Mary showed us the basics and kept in touch to assure that we were managing ok. A very pleasant holiday. Why HiP? A work colleague stayed in Paris last year with you and recommended you. |

Thank you for providing us with a Haven in Paris! The place is wonderful: we loved the light, the view, the cleverness with which the limited space was made to feel not crowded at all, the thoughtful and tasteful layout, the free phone and the Mac (just like home) the generous supplies (including that delicious bottle of wine), the pleasant and efficient business arrangement, and - of course - Didier, our super-caring greeter. When we decide to return to Paris we will be in touch again, to be sure. PS: Note to Didier our greeter - Thank you again for being there and for welcoming us so perfectly. This, like so many other things, show how caring and efficient you and the Haven in Paris team work. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at that beautiful place - I think this will not be the only time! By the way: taking the #54 bus to Gare du Nord (3rd stop there!) and then the train to CDG works perfectly. It may take a bit longer than the Metro but there are no connections to make and NO STAIRS - and most folks will have a transport Pass (Paris Visite) anyhow. You may recommend that to other guests. |

I just returned from a wonderful 5 week stay at the Studio Pilleux. The studio has absolutely everything you need and I will definitely want to stay there again when I return to Paris. Didier the greeter was so helpful and just great to talk to. I just can't say enough good things about my stay there. I have already strongly recommended Haven in Paris to friends who are planning trips to Paris. Why HiP? I decided to rent with Haven In Paris because the studio was just what I needed for my extended stay to attend French Language school in Paris. The neighborhood is great and I felt like it really helped me to experience life in Paris. From the time I started inquiring about renting from Haven in Paris I was always impressed with the attention I received from the HIP team. Thank you all for a helping turn my dream trip into reality. |

We have just returned to New Zealand after an amazing 2 month holiday which began with 1 month at Pilleux Studio in Monmartre. The studio was just wonderful, very small but so well planned and laid out that it didnt feel small. The view is of Sacre Couer is magnificent, the facilities are perfect and the greeter, Didier, was an absolute gem. The 67 step climb to the Apartment allowed us to indulge in as many french pastries as we desired so we didnt find it difficult at all. The locals were great. We got to know the local Boucherie, Boulangerie and Supermarche staff well - they laughed when they saw us coming as our french was very limited and they thought we were very funny!! Also the French people in general were so very helpful and if we were standing in the street looking at a map someone would always approach us and try to help with directions. we loved every minute of our stay in Paris and our little studio and would return again in a heart beat. Why HiP? We had a limited budget and after an extensive online search I discovered Pilleux and negotiated with Erica who was so friendly and approachable and the deal was done - voila!!! |

I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time and everything with the property was perfect. Our greeter was very helpful and a gracious host. We were very sad to have to leave Paris and look forward to our next trip there and will definitely use your services again and heartily recommend them to our friends and co-workers. Thanks to your team for the great experience. |

I would highly recommend Haven in Paris. The personnel were extremely professional, timely in communications, and accommodating. The reservation process which we did online, was extremely easy. We really enjoyed staying in an apartment vs. a hotel, as it gave us a glimpse of what it's like to live in Paris. We also found it was more economical than a hotel - overall the rates were better and we had the ability to eat some meals 'at home'. The Pilleux apartment is a small but efficient space, which was all we needed to rest our heads at the end of each day. The apartment is located in a quiet mews and overlooks the Montmartre Cemetery, which is an amazing landmark to see everyday. The apartment has all the amenities you would expect - bathroom, shower, washer, and Internet access. The apartment is a 4 story walk up, so renters should be fit enough to walk the stairs. Both of our Greeters were prompt, polite and helpful. Both were very willing to help us w/our extremely heavy luggage, which Roger and I appreciated. We were pleasantly surprised by the message we received on our last day, asking if your company could help w/travel arrangements back to the train station. We weren't aware that this was a service you provided, so we spent some time searching for a taxi stand near the apartment. So, needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised by the offer to arrange a taxi for us. That was a big help - and a time saver for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will gladly recommend Haven in Paris to any of our friends and family and will use them again if we're lucky enough to travel to Paris again. Why HiP? Haven in Paris came recommended by a friend. As noted above, we also felt like renting an apartment was more economical than a hotel - overall your rates were comparable or less expensive than a hotel, and we had the ability to eat our breakfast at home every morning. But most of all, we like to get a feel for 'life' in any city we visit. Renting an apartment gave us a better sense of what it's like to live in Paris. |

Pilleux is perfect. The studio has the best shower in Paris and a kitchen equipped for everything from a quick breakfast to an attempt at a three course dinner. The location is far from the tourist crowd but close enough to a metro stop to get anywhere quickly. The neighbors were friendly, and everyone from Haven in Paris was responsive and helpful. The whole experience was wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone for a quick trip or an extended stay. |

I spent a three month vacation in Paris, living in the Pilleux-Sacre Coeur studio. My experience with the property and with Haven in Paris could not have been better. The studio has been built out and appointed with care and thoughtfullness bordering on obsession. Even though the space is only nineteen square meters, it never felt cramped. And anytime I needed anything, from a food processor to a hair dryer, I had only to go looking through the many cabinets to find that it had been provided. To top it all off, the view out over Montmartre onto Sacre Coeur is really something. The people associated with Haven in Paris helped to make the experience. Everyone I dealt with was not just helpful and professional but genuinely friendly. I wound up attending several all afternoon brunches at the home of the owner of HIP and the home of the greeter who settled me into the apartment. My experience with HIP was one of those rare experiences where all expectations were exceeded. |

I loved my stay at Pilleux. This cute studio is compact, yet provides more than enough space to sleep, cook, dine, and relax in comfort. The apartment is sunny and cheery, and we felt comfortable as soon as we set down our bags. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or even a restorative solitary escape. I loved coming "home" every evening to savour a glass of wine and the amazing view of the Montmartre cemetery and the Sacre Couer. The location is truly Parisian and was a welcome break from cookie-cutter hotels. Hopefully this first visit will not be my last. I will return as soon as I can! Why HiP? I felt very comfortable renting from HIP, knowing of their reputation for top-notch service and gorgeous properties. |

Having just stayed in Pilleux it feels like I discovered a mini hidden gem in Paris! Although small, the apartment is a marvel of space and style. We actually cooked and entertained 9 people there! After all the guests left, we just pulled down the ingenious bed from the wall and the room transformed into a bedroom. Set against the backdrop of green from the Montmartre cemetery, we found it quite peaceful and tranquil. And the shower is fantastic – a real “rain” showerhead, so rare in Paris! It was really wonderful thank you so much Erica and Alain. |

I arrived in Paris worried about staying in a studio that is smaller than my bedroom at home. However, as soon as I walked in and saw how well planned out the apartment was, I knew it would be just fine. I have stayed in many apartments in France, and this was by far the best thought out. The shower is large and relaxing (and has a view!). The fully equipped kitchen made it a pleasure to shop and cook in the apartment, and there was even enough space to make a Mexican feast with friends! It was a very quiet, romantic place to stay, and the reflection on Sacre Coeur and the hillside at sunset was breathtaking - I took photos almost every night. Having unlimited internet and phone made it easy to keep in touch with people back in the U.S., and I felt like I really had my own little home in Paris. When I come back, I hope it will be to the same apartment! For a cozy and pleasant stay in Paris, you can't do any better. |
